Results indicate that either 5, 17, or 24 months after treatment, selenized white spruce seedlings did not show significantly different deer-browsing damage from control seedlings when deer numbers were high. Five and seventeen months after treatment, selenium had not leached but had accumulated in the top soil. Large-scale application of selenium may represent a potential environmental risk, hence we do not recommend use of selenite ion to prevent damage from deer-browsing of white spruce seedlings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Published in Northern Journal of Applied Forestry 11(2): 63-64 This study evaluates the potential usefulness and toxicity of applying quadrivalent selenium (selenite ion) to the soil to discourage white-tailed deer from browsing conifer seedlings.
